From 3ede760f0e46317c6716ead8facff88f6a924a49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Neukum Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 14:35:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] USB: total removal of multithreaded probing in usb The whole approach is simply wrong. Forking a thread means that - errors are ignored - locking is ignored Doing this correctly would require major surgery for questionable benefit.
